------------------------------------

             Summary: json_tuple throws NullPointException when column is null as string type.
                 Key: SPARK-21677
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-21677
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 2.3.0
            Reporter: Hyukjin Kwon
            Priority: Minor


I was testing {{json_tuple}} before using this to extract values from JSONs in my testing cluster but I found it could actually throw  {{NullPointException}} as below sometimes:

{code}
scala> Seq(("""{"Hyukjin": 224, "John": 1225}""")).toDS.selectExpr("json_tuple(value, trim(' Hyukjin    '))").show()
+---+
| c0|
+---+
|224|
+---+

scala> Seq(("""{"Hyukjin": 224, "John": 1225}""")).toDS.selectExpr("json_tuple(value, trim(' Jackson    '))").show()
+----+
|  c0|
+----+
|null|
+----+

scala> Seq(("""{"Hyukjin": 224, "John": 1225}""")).toDS.selectExpr("json_tuple(value, trim(null))").show()
...
java.lang.NullPointerException

It sounds we should show explicit error messages or return {{NULL}}.
